Plot
Template:Spoiler "Checkin Out" (That's So Raven crossover episode): Raven steps up to organize an important photo shoot showcasing Donna Cabonna's new fashion line for young men at the Tipton Hotel in Boston because Tiffany, the usual assistant, is sick with a lip fungus. Donna gives her a "Secretech", a device for secretaries that helps organize events and also allows Raven to have a video conference on it. She assures Donna that she knows how to use one, yet she doesn't, and no one can help her. She accidentally sent her photographer to the Tipton...in Milan, Italy. Also, the models (Yahn and Cville) did not get their plane ticket from Raven, so the models are stuck in Slovakia. So she must substitute the fashion models with Zack and Cody, and the photographer Pistache with herself, Raven. Donna Cabonna finds out the bad news so she tries to take matter into her own hands by impersonating the photographer too. So two Pistaches show up, and later the real one shows up and explains she got there so quickly by taking a private fast jet and charging it to Donna Cabonna. Pistache takes pictures of Zack and Cody. She tells them to turn around and she takes pictures of their backs. Meanwhile Cory and Eddie try to get Chelsea to break the record for the world's longest paddle ball session so they can claim the prize money. They think they have the record in the bag until Stanley proves to be a formidable paddle ball opponent. Chelsea scams Stanley and wins the title and prize money then feels bad for scaming Stanley. She ends up giving Stanley the money. The whole episode ends on a happy note with Raven's vision that has Donna Cobanna saying that the boy's line is a success.
"That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana" (The Suite Life crossover episode): Raven gets stuck in Boston after her flight is cancelled. She then has a vision that one of the twins that is wearing a red shirt and a black sweater vest (Zack is the one to get the cake in his face) is in danger of being attacked. Raven warns them that whoever wears the sweater vest should avoid sneezing and bells. Cody, now paranoid, avoids anything that remotely resembles Raven's "premonition" - even the surprise birthday party that he and Zack are throwing for Carey. Zack decides to wear Cody's black sweater vest to Carey's surprise party, but upon hearing sneezing and bells, lands head first into the cake. Meanwhile, Maddie is trying to help Raven by getting London to wear one of Raven's original designs, but London swears she'll never wear anything that's not from a famous person. So Maddie switched the labels from Raven to Atore Vittali. So London wears the dress thinking its a Vittali original. Maddie tells them the truth so London gets upset. But then London soon changes her mind when pop star Hannah Montana checks into the Tipton and asks Raven if she can wear one of her designs after she admires London's. Then they fight over the dress and rip it (off screen, since London was still wearing it).
"On the Road Again" (Hannah Montana crossover episode): When Hannah Montana stays at the Tipton Hotel in Boston, she befriends candy counter girl Maddie who talks about the career Miley's father Robby had back in the day. Now, Miley believes that her dad gave up his dream to sing so that Miley could pursue her own career. To give him back the stage life, she recruits the help of his former manager to get Robby back on the road. Robby Ray goes to San Diego while Roxy takes care of Jackson and Miley. Unfortunately, Roxy is very overprotective and will not let the children go out of her sight. Jackson gets fed up and goes to San Diego, being followed by Miley and Roxy. Billy Ray Cyrus performs "I Want My Mullet Back" in this episode. However upon seeing his father perform and of the offer to go on tour, Jackson changes his mind. However Robbie changes his mind because he does not want to leave his kids. At the end of the episode both Billy Ray and Miley perform an encore performance of "I Want My Mullet Back." Not much of Miley's stay at the Tipton is shown, only her conversation with London, the talk with Maddie on the day of her departure, her asking Raven to make her a dress, and Miley eating cake off of Zack's sweater vest.

Production
The crossover is the third crossover that the Disney Channel has done. The first one was of Aladdin and Hercules: The Animated Series, the second was Lilo & Stitch: The Series with American Dragon: Jake Long, Kim Possible, Recess and The Proud Family (albeit as different episodes), but this is the first live action crossover.
Michael Poryes co-created That's So Raven (with Susan Sherman) and Hannah Montana (with Richard Corell) while Corell directed episodes of those shows including The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
The episode aired on Friday, July 28, 2006 from 8-9:30/7-8:30c. It leaked onto the web on July 22, 2006.
All three of the shows are available on Disney Channel on Demand.
Aftermath
The crossover averaged over 6 million viewers throughout its first airing. It had a total of nearly 20 million viewers making it one of Disney Channel's highest rated telecasts. [1]
Many fans were dissapointed that the Hannah Montana crossover barely had anything to do with the whole idea other than her staying at the Tipton for five minutes of the episode.
